Learn How to Write Songs in a Workshop with Gordon Brown

My good friend Gordon Brown is still a young guy, but his career in the music biz spans two decades already. He signed his first major record deal at age 19 and has had a total of three of them (SBK/EMI, Sony/Epic and RCA), and has also had two publishing deals, with EMI PUB and BMG Songs, all while writing and producing various projects and working with many talented songwriters.

You might remember Gordon from his work in seminal Shore bands like “Mr. Reality” or “Highway 9,” or maybe you’ve attended one of the “Writers in the Raw” series of songwriters’ showcases that he co-founded with Barry Dorsey.

Either way, you know he has a lot to say about the craft of songwriting. If you’ve ever thought about writing a song (or maybe you’ve written a bunch of tunes but don’t know what to do or where to go next), you can take advantage of Gordon’s 20 years of songwriting experience at a series of workshops he’ll be hosting later this month at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.

The songwriters workships run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on three consecutive Fridays: April 16, 23 and 30 and cost $65 each or $170 for all three. You can attend one, two or all three and learn about expressing yourself, song structure and lyric writing. You can register by fax, mail or in person. Print out a registration form here.
